"Non-profit" organizations are a red flag to me, having done the international UN thing. All the non-profits drove Range Rovers, all the for-profit drove Nissans.

STARS in Calgary, now trying to expand to the rest of Canada, is another non-profit that the people funding should be questioning. They too bought several AW139's, maybe 5-6 years ago. Every year I see all their pilots at NJ for recurrent training. And they haven't flown one hour with their 139's yet, we'll see if it happens in 2012. "Non-profit" money down the toilet, but a very well compensated executive.

I feel badly for Agusta. Good product besmirched by association to sad sack operators. What were they thinking throwing in with that slimy ORNGE bunch anyway?
